    Fantastic visual character design delineating Dylan’s horizontal guitar-planar harmonica setup with Seeger’s elongated, upright 5-string banjo. 

    I don’t know much about Bob Dylan, but the way this film tells the story using the music, through the music is so powerful! And all of the supporting players coming in and out adding to the music and the story in these meaningful, emotional, sometimes minimal additions that make all the difference. 

    PS: the banjo player fumbling his way through Whiskey in the Jar is at once incredibly true to American-trad-imitation-bar-slop and massively irritating.
